Space Age AMF Roadmaster, Ladies
This bike was donated to our all-volunteer charity. We will sell it to help pay our expenses. The bike came from the original owner. It's in pretty nice shape and the seat is in good condition. We would appreciate any help with value. Thanks in advance.

This is truly a gorgeous bike. Men's versions in similar condition are going for $180 and up on the Bay.
More women's bikes survive the ravages of time than men's bikes. This lowers the price you can expect to receive.
And, unless someone in your organization has some expertise in selling whole bikes on the Bay this is likely not a good option for you.
Shipping an oversize package weighing 50+ pounds is outrageously expensive nowadays.
Selling locally (Craigslist, etc) I think you might ask $125 and expect to receive $100.
In my mind that is under-priced for a bike of this age in this condition, but the demand has not been there in my experience.
I wish you all the best of luck and I hope you get more than I think you will!
